RHUBARB RASPBERRY COBBLER WITH CORNMEAL BISCUITS



Rhubarb Raspberry Cobbler With Cornmeal Biscuits image

Rhubarb is often paired with strawberries, but in this cobbler it courts a new dance partner, the raspberry. If rhubarb is young and fresh, you can trim it in seconds. If it has fibrous outer strings, peel these off as you would those of celery. The cornmeal in the biscuit dough will nicely offset the nubbiness of the raspberry seeds. You can eat it warm from the oven, smothered in heavy cream for dessert, then spoon up the leftovers cold the next morning for breakfast, topped with yogurt.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     weekday, dessert

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds rhubarb, trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch pieces about 6 cups
2 1/2 cups fresh raspberries or 1 10-ounce package frozen raspberries, defrosted
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup all-purpose flour, more as necessary
2/3 cup fine cornmeal
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2/3 cup heavy cream, more for brushing

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. For filling, in a large bowl, toss together rhubarb, raspberries, sugar and cornstarch. Allow mixture to stand while preparing biscuit dough.
  • To prepare biscuits, place flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a food processor and pulse to combine (or whisk everything together in a bowl).
  • Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal (or use 2 knives to cut butter into flour mixture). Pour in cream and continue pulsing (or stir) until dough starts to come together, scraping down sides of bowl if necessary.
  • Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it together. Divide it equally into 8 balls, then flatten them slightly into thick rounds. Biscuit dough can be made up to a day in advance and refrigerated, covered, until needed.
  • Scrape filling and accumulated juices into a 2 1/2-quart gratin or baking dish (9 by 12 inches). Arrange biscuits on top of filling and brush with cream. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until filling is bubbling and biscuits are golden.

CORNMEAL BISCUITS WITH KIWI



Cornmeal Biscuits with Kiwi image

This recipe makes more dough than you need. Shape the dough in a log, wrap it in plastic, and freeze. Slice and bake the cookies as needed.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes 1 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup sugar, plus 1 teaspoon for sprinkling
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornmeal, plus extra for dusting
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 kiwi, peeled and sliced into 4 rounds

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and 1/4 cup sugar until smooth. Add the yolk and mix to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Add them to the egg mixture and stir just to combine. The mixture will resemble coarse crumbs. Add 1 tablespoon of cold water to bring the dough together. Wrap in plastic and freeze for 1/2 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Dust the countertop with cornmeal. Using your fingertips, press the dough to a 1/4-inch thickness about 8 inches around, and cut into desired shapes. Gently run a knife under each shape to remove and place on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle sparingly with sugar. Bake until golden, about 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Remove the biscuits to a wire rack to cool. Arrange 2 cookies and a slice of kiwi on each of 4 dessert plates. The remaining cookies will keep, tightly covered, for up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cornmeal. Fresh cornmeal will give your biscuits a better flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh cornmeal, you can use store-bought cornmeal, but be sure to check the expiration date.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make your biscuits tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Let the dough rest before baking. This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax, which will make your biscuits more tender.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven. This will help them to rise quickly and evenly.
  • Serve the biscuits warm. Cornmeal biscuits are best served warm, right out of the oven.

Conclusion:
